I know people were complaining about the number of 25k we had in Britain but it's certainly been a factor for Sonay with 4 titles and 200 points. But for 1 poor tournament Alistair Gray would've replicated her and got into qualies too.

Sonay has been having some pretty decent results on grass.

She's beaten the world number 125 (Kenin), 136 (Hruncakova), 151 (Ruse), and today (with thanks to Steven's tweet):

Ilkley W100 R1: (WC)
@kartal_sonay is in one of her merciless moods today, thrashing no. 4 seed Simona Waltert SUI WR 113 (CH 107 last week), 190 places above her (and her 2nd biggest win by ranking so far), 1&0!
The ponytail of doom strikes again!

 She's a main draw entry for the W60's in Prerov this week and Prague next week.

There's a photo on social media that Sonay has posted of her in rehab, with smiles and thumbs up, but obviously has had injury issues

out of interest, Sonay is now the 5th highest ranked player not to have won a WTA tour match. Not that she has played many, but still
